Construction Loans

From lot financing to construction loans to the end mortgages, we can help you get the best interest rates in the marketplace. We also provide superior service to insure that you are completely satisfied. Here is a summary of our Construction Financing programs:

Lot Financing Program

50% Financing Alternative—We will lend up to 50% of the lesser of the purchase price of the lot or the appraised value if you provide collateral in addition to the lot itself. This allows you to keep your cash invested and working for you while the cost of credit still a bargain.

Interest Rate—Please see the bank for rate and disclosure information.

Term—Please call the bank for term options.

Principal—We will bill you at maturity for the loan's principal. You can, however, pre-pay the principal without penalty, at any time.
